Thanks Alison and "Unknown." It was an incredible experience. It was such a privilege to be there.

Alison, I was thinking of your boys as I watched the President take the oath of office on Monday and then dance with and First Lady that night. I remember how excited they were 4 years ago. I love that our children have such amazing role models.

I LOVE your city. It's one of my favorite cities, actually. In addition to all of the great museums and cultural opportunities, I love that it's not filled with skyscrapers. This nature girls loves to see the sun!

About Me

I spent my childhood mucking about in the fields, forests, and swamps around the farm where I grew up. As an exchange student in high school, I temporarily traded rural living for city life in Cebu, Philippines. These early experiences set me on my current course exploring nature and culture like the locals. I spent 10 wonderful years as a grade 4 teacher. Now, when I'm not mucking around in the world, I'm usually in my office or local coffee shop weaving these experiences into stories for children. I'm represented by Jill Corcoran of Jill Corcoran Literary Agancy.
